Re: Twins Franchise

I'm doing one with the Twins while waiting for the OSFM rosters. I decided to take some chances on some veterans while going very young with a lot of speed. I had to get creative to fit everything under my budget. I only have about 1 mil left under my budget.

STARTING LINEUP
1. Grady Sizemore - CF
2. Tim Bliss - SS (myself as about around an 80 rating) but most of stats is in the 60s and 70s so I don't know I ended up at 80 overall.
3. Joe Mauer - C
4. Josh Willingham - LF
5. Justin Morneau - 1B
6. Jim Thome - DH
7. Ryan Doumit - RF
8. Juan Francisco - 3B
9. Tyler Pastornicky - 2B

BENCH
Jordan Schafer
Brent Lillibridge
Chris Parmelle
Jamey Carroll

STARTING ROTATION
Roy Oswalt (started out as a 90 rating when I signed him but was an 83 rating after spring training)
Mike Minor
Cole De Vries
Scott Diamond
Mike Pelfrey

BULLPEN
Brian Duensing
Luis Avilan
Cory Gearrin
Jordan Walden
Francisco Rodriguez
Eric O'Flaherty
Brian Wilson

I didn't want to trade Glen Perkins but ended up trading him and Jared Burton for Walden and O'Flaherty because that was the only way I could afford to sign Oswalt.

Re: Twins Franchise

Nice I see I made some of the same moves has you with Thome and Brian Wilson closing, funny thing Wilson retired on me after 1 year. De Vries is solid for me and I traded Morneau to get Tyler Skaggs from the Dbacks
